EXPLOSIVELY EFFECTIVEWHAT MAKES PLYOMETRICS SUCH AN EXCITING AND ENHANCING TRAINING PROGRAM BY SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN

*THE STUDY IS ENTITLED “ECCENTRIC MUSCLE CONTR AC TIONS: THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO INJURY, PRE VENTION, REHABILITATION, AND SPORT.”

Jump training, or plyometrics, is a high-intensity routine involving explosive movements to promote power and strength. However, you cannot simply jump up and down and expect to be powerful. When done incorrectly, plyometrics may cause more harm than good because of its intense nature. Proper landing (for lower body exercises) and catching (for upper body exercises) is very important in plyometrics. That being said, plyometrics offers a number of benefits for the active athlete. Not only does it promote power, it can also reduce the chances of injury. When you land softly, it promotes eccentric contractions. Such movements use muscles to act like springs or shock absorbers. Indeed, a 2003 study which appeared in the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, reported that an eccentric-resistance exercise protocol not only plays a part in the enhancement of high-power sport activities, it is also instrumental in the prevention and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries and other bone and muscle impairments. Several studies have also found plyometrics to produce a positive effect on the biomechanics of the lower extremities. Combining plyometrics with balance training is also recommended to make the most out of the pre-season training of female athletes. Can plyometrics help you get better in endurance sports? Running and jumping are similar in some respects. They both have a push-off and flight phase. Surging needs more powerful movements. With a progressive plyometric program, you will not only improve your

power, but enhance the quality of your movements. Do you have what it takes to make the leap? Consult with a

health and fitness professional before making the jump to plyometrics.

WEIGHT TRAINING FOR KIDS With proper adult supervision, resistance

exercises can be good for children

Is it safe to engage children in resistance exercises? Sports professionals think so. In 2009, the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) published a position statement in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research noting the benefits of a properly designed and supervised resistance training program for the youth. Not only is such a program relatively safe for the young, it can enhance their muscular strength and power, improve their cardiovascular risk profile, enhance their motor skill performance, and increase their resistance to sports-related injuries. Engaging in resistance exercises will help them develop good lifestyle habits, and could even improve their psychosocial well-being. It must be emphasized, however, that resistance training for teens and children must be supervised by qualified professionals who should provide safety guidelines and proper lifting instructions, stated Dr. Avery Faigenbaum in “Resistance Training Among Young Athletes: Safety, Efficacy, and Injury Prevention Effects,” which appeared in the British Journal of Sports Medicine last 2010.

With a progressive plyometric program, you will not only increase your power, but enhance the quality of your movements.

Every year without fail, I noticed how fitness gyms would be packed for the first two weeks of January—and only for the first two weeks of January. Everyone knows the benefits of exercise, even for the most sedentary of human beings. The problem is that passion wanes when results are not seen fast enough; exercise is thus postponed, becoming another resolution for the New Year. When you start exercising, you’re out of breath, your pulse is high, and you get tired easily. Unfortunately, the needle on the scale remains the same and your body is nowhere near the V-shape that you desire. This is always a bit disconcerting but it’s perfectly normal. When you first start working out, your body responds by raising your heart rate, causing you to breathe heavily. While those first few weeks are tough, exercising gets easier as your body starts to adapt to your workout. Physical activity triggers the release of endorphins, the feel-good chemicals. You will also feel better when you complete a workout plan and your calorie watcher shows 1,500 calories burned! Whether you’re pushing anaerobic HR with 1km run intervals, picking up dumbbells, or riding a foldable bike, be consistent and stay focused. Love your body, love your heart, and be patient. Do not give up easily and soon you will bear its fruits. By the way, consistent exercise will give you more birthdays too!

A: The idea is to never stop training or cross-training if you have an injury. If you have an injury on the upper extremities, then work out your lower ones, and vice versa. But if you must rest for an extended period of time due to a medical condition or injury, you have to get back low and slow. It is always prudent to take it easy and not rush back to your once peak form or you risk incurring a new injury. There are medical protocols developed by sports medicine specialists that cater to each specific injury which will help you get back to competitive form. Ask for their advice.MARC ANTHONY L. CASTRO, MD, FPOASports Medicine doctor, Orthopaedic surgeon; Triathlete

What is the best way to lose weight?A: A person’s diet is an important factor

in losing weight. Focus on decreasing your daily caloric intake by 500 calories. Decreasing food portions is better than decreasing your intake of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Drink water before meals. Water doesn’t have any calories. It also decreases the amount of food your stomach can take, decreasing the food you can ingest. Choose foods that are high in fluid like fruits and vegetables. These are also excellent sources of fiber which can aid in your bowel movement.SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYANSBRSG Contributing Editor; Exercise Physiology student, University of Alabama

Is strength training something that should be done year-round, or just

seasonally?A: Majority of endurance athletes focus on lung-searing intervals and long distance/duration training, and sometimes disregard the importance of the weights room. Resistance training can promote stronger, slow twitch muscle fibers making them carry more work load. This spares fast twitch muscle fibers from being exhausted early in your next race. Fast twitch muscle fibers burn glycogen (a precious fuel in short supply), which produces lactate. During high intensity efforts, your muscles may no longer be able to handle the high concentration of lactate. Resistance training would thus benefit your endurance when properly done. There are numerous resistance training cycles/goals per training phase. Consult with a strength and conditioning professional about utilizing periodization in your training program. Joe Friel, a well-known endurance coach and author of the Triathlete’s Training Bible and Cyclist’s Training Bible, wrote that one should eliminate all resistance training seven days before big races. This will help the athlete peak at the proper time and be at his best for the big event.SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN

What should recovering athletes do about their workouts when they have not been training for a few months after being sick or injured?

THE IDEA IS TO NEVER STOP TRAINING OR CROSS-TRAINING IF

YOU HAVE AN INJURY. IF YOU HAVE AN INJURY

ON THE UPPER EXTREMITIES, THEN WORK OUT YOUR LOWER ONES,

AND VICE VERSA.

I have a regular

day job, and I have a family to take care of. I want to get serious with triathlon, but I’m afraid that I have to sacrifice my job and some family quality time. How can I balance all these?

AJuggling triathlon with a successful

career and a happy family life is no easy task, but it can definitely be done without having any of the balls slipping out of your hands. Ultimately, the goal is to live the tri life where swimming, biking, and running is not an option, but comes as natural as brushing your teeth. To begin, set a schedule for training, work, and family. You may hire a good triathlon coach who can customize your program based on your goals and lifestyle. Be flexible enough to adjust to sudden changes in your schedule and know that, periodically, you may need to focus on certain areas more depending on the need, such as a sick child, a looming work deadline, or an upcoming race. The bottom line is that triathlon can fit perfectly into your life as long as you work hard, train smart, and want it badly. —JAYMIE PIZARROFounder, TheBullRunner.com; International Marathoner; Triathlete

Every athlete dreams of racing his personal best. The expensive gear, the hours and hours of training, the topnotch coaching—these are usually what athletes spend their time and money on. But where does sports nutrition come into the picture? Why is it the least of the athlete’s priority?

WHY THE NEGLECT?Considering its importance, why is sports nutrition a neglected aspect of the athlete’s preparation? My guess is that it’s not as “sexy” as the other aspects of sports. For example, a new bike is more interesting than, say, trying out a new energy gel brand. Training with the most sought-after coach is a more exciting topic than telling your friends what you drink during a race. Whether sports nutrition as a topic is sexy or not, we cannot escape the fact that it can still spell the difference

between a good race and a great one. And, truth be told, whatever amount of time is spent on buying the latest gear or training with the latest “it” coach should also be spent on planning your nutrition for sports.

WHY SPORTS NUTRITION?Sports nutrition is more than just drinking water and eating on the race. Sports nutrition is a juggling act, putting such factors as fuel, hydration, and electrolytes into play. It also involves what you eat and not eat on any given day. You might ask why what is eaten outside of training and racing is considered part of sports nutrition. Well, it’s because whatever you consume on a regular day affects how you perform the next training or race day. Fueling focuses on your energy sources. This is what your body runs on for long distances. Hydration zeroes

in on your water level. People often get hydration and fueling confused. It’s just like getting gasoline and water for your vehicle mixed up. They are both important but they each have a specific function for the vehicle. Hydration is important to keep your body’s core temperature at the right level unless you risk overheating or dehydration. Electrolyte balance involves making sure your body gets a full spectrum of electrolyte simply because you don’t sweat out just water. The typical composition of human sweat is sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. There are also traces of minerals such as zinc, copper, iron, chromium, nickel, and lead. In order to keep your body’s electrolyte balance, you need to make sure that whatever you are taking has more than just sodium and water. SBR

NEGLECTING NUTRITION WHY DOING SO COULD SPELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING A GOOD RACE AND A GREAT ONE BY HARVIE DE BARON

HAIL TO HYDRATION!HOW TO STAY HYDRATED

Heat illness has always been a major concern for athletes at the elite and recreational levels in Southeast Asia. Proper hydration is thus a big factor in maintaining one’s well-being. About 75 percent of the human body is made up of water. Water keeps body temperature at normal levels, stimulating perspiration to prevent overheating.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO BEAT THE HEAT AND PREVENT DEHYDRATION:

n KNOW THE SIGNS OF DEHYDRATION. These include dark yellow urine, loss of energy and coordination, cramps, headaches, dizziness, and unusual fatigue. If left untreated, more serious symptoms will occur.

n DRINK UP. Once you’re acclimatized, you need to increase fluid intake because you’ll have a higher sweat rate. Drink at least one cup for every hydration station that you pass. You’ll never know if the remaining stations have enough fluids for all the participants.

n TRY TO HAVE FLUIDS WITHIN YOUR REACH. During your workouts, training, and races, make sure that fluids are easily accessible.

n DRINK IT, DON’T POUR IT. Pouring fluid over a certain body part feels good but it won’t lower body temperature at a faster rate or restore body fluids.

SPORTS NUTRITION IS A JUGGLING ACT,

PUTTING SUCH FACTORS AS FUEL, HYDRATION, AND ELECTROLYTES INTO PLAY.

FITNESS FOR EVERYONE

STAY HEALTHY TOGETHER BE AN ADVOCATE OF FITNESS AND WELL-BEING BY FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SET BY THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO).

• Raise awareness about the importance and benefits of physical activity

• Educate different groups of all ages and population about the benefits of physical activity and how to stay active

Let’s do our share in promoting health practices in our community, and integrating physical activity into our daily activities. Here, some guidelines set by the World Health Organization (WHO):

• Conduct local physical activity programs and initiatives like various types of exercise and sports as well as daily physical activity like house chores, gardening, and using the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator

• Build capacity among individuals that implement local physical activity programs by training them of the skills and knowledge they need

• Create supportive environments that facilitate participation in physical activity

• Give recognition to individuals who lead healthy lifestyles, engage in regular physical activity, and encouraged others to do so.

In developing countries, more and more individuals are doing less physical activity and making unhealthy lifestyle choices

(like smoking, drinking, and poor eating habits). While these countries are enjoying economic development, urbanization, and industrialization, it is unfortunate that incidences of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, and cancer are rising. As government

and non-government organizations try to manage these health issues, the importance of physical activity in preventing these diseases has become widely recognized. In “Weight Management Strategies for Recreational Athletes,” an article published in Lifestyle Magazine, authors Ingrid Lofgren, PhD, MPH, RD, and Matthew Delmonico, PhD, MPH, wrote that people who increase their physical activity from light

to moderate are considered recreational athletes. By consuming a well-balanced diet consisting of a variety of nutrient-dense foods, an individual’s nutritional needs may be met. Heavily marketed supplements may negatively affect body weight and must be used with caution. It is best to seek medical and practical advice from health professionals. With the rise of urbanization and industrialization, obesity-related insulin resistance is also on the rise among children and adolescents. This contributes to an increased lifetime risk of developing type-2 diabetes and other cardiovascular diseases. In 2013, a randomized control trial research was published at Pediatric Obesity by Stuart McCormack and his colleagues. They investigated how exercise and lifestyle modification may improve

fitness and insulin sensitivity among 21 obese individuals ranging from 10 to 17 years old. The participants were given healthy lifestyle advice for eight weeks: one group was placed in an in-home supervised exercise intervention and the other in a control group. Exercise improved fitness and power output and also increased stored fats stored in the muscles. Insulin resistance decreased in subjects who received lifestyle modification advice and was unrelated to the assigned exercise training given to them. They concluded that as exercise increases, so do fats stored in the muscle cells in obese children; these can translate to the improved ability of muscles in using lipids as fuel. At the end of the day, breaking a sweat means more than just burning calories. It means getting on the road to better health and well-being. SBR

GETTING ACTIVE NOT ONLY HELPS INDIVIDUALS LOSE WEIGHT, IT ALSO GETS

THEM ON THE ROAD TO FITNESS.


RECOVERYINJURY PREVENTION • REST • RELAXATION • SEASON BREAKS • DOWNTIME

5 THINGS YOU SHOULD BE DOING

ON YOUR REST DAYHere is a list of what you need to do during rest and recovery (R&R) day:

24-HOUR ATHLETE MENTALITY• Mental conditioning to

aid in the improvement of your performance

• Stay hungry for success and results; this simply means to become the best person or athlete you can be. It all starts with an inspiring dream and staying inspired, or else you won’t reach your goal.

WORK + REST = IMPROVEMENT• Stress from both office

work and training can accumulate. It will be pretty nasty and can hamper your athletic performance. Balancing these two plus proper rest will equate to big improvements not only on your performance, but on your health and wellness as well.

LESS IS MORE • During your R&R day, the

less you do means the more you’ll gain. The body repairs itself during rest.

GET QUALITY SLEEP• Nothing can beat good

sleep. The goal is 6 to 9 hours of sleep per day. Lack of sleep causes tiredness. Staying awake longer also creates more chances for you to eat.

SELF-MASSAGE• Use a foam roller, tennis

ball, golf ball, or your own hands to perform a self-massage. This is also called a self-myofascial release. Its end goal is to release muscle tightness and knots. Applying pressure on specific body parts promotes blood flow. It also breaks down adhesions which may cause inflexibility and painful movements.

THE POWER OF GRAVITYA CLASSIC MOVE THAT REJUVENATES YOUR LEGS BY SEAN SIM

Elevating your legs for a few minutes will make them feel lighter, espe-cially after a hard training session, during the day, or before going to sleep. By doing this simple move, you are trying to harness the power of gravity. Standing or sitting for a long time pools blood to your legs; this is said to be the reason for that heavy feeling. Blood pooling after a hard training session may

have its benefits. Because your muscles have micro-tears due to such activity, the initial response of your body is to repair it by drawing blood into those areas. Nutrient-rich blood gets trapped in these areas because you’re not moving (hence, decreased muscle pump activity), because of gravity’s pull, or both. However, there is still no scientific evidence about harnessing the power of gravity to decrease muscle

soreness due to physical ac-tivity. Most of the reviews on elevation pertain to relief of inflammation due to injuries. It is advised in conjunction with rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Yes, it is that well-known acronym, RICE. Still, doing this simple move certainly won’t hurt. Just bring your legs high, placing it higher than the level of your heart. Let it rest in that position for 15 to 20 minutes. You’ll feel better afterwards. Try it!

MUSCLE SORENESS IS USUALLY ASSOCIATED WITH VIGOROUS EXERCISE WHICH THE BODY IS NOT ACCUSTOMED TO. THIS IS

CALLED DELAYED ONSET OF MUSCLE SORENESS OR SIMPLY DOMS.

TO EAT OR NOT TO EAT

BEFORE A WORKOUT

BY HARVIE DE BARON

Have you ever had that bloated feeling in your stomach during a workout? Chances are you ate too close to the start of your activity. Food that needs to be chewed has to go through your digestive track before it can be converted as glycogen to be used as energy. With this in mind, it is best to eat your last meal about 2-3 hours before your workout, depending on how your body converts food. The less processed the food is (i.e oily food, processed meats, fast food, etc), the quicker your body can digest it and the faster it can be converted into glycogen stores. Taking some fresh fruits and a glass of coconut juice about 2 hours before the start of training can be a good idea. The more intense you expect your workout to be, the longer the gap should be between your last meal and the start of your workout.

THE SPIDER-MAN STRETCHHOW ONE MOVE CAN ACTIVATE AND STRENGTHEN YOUR CORE WHILE INCREASING YOUR HIP MOBILITY BY SAUL ANTHONY SIBAYAN

A light jog on the treadmill or a couple of minutes on the stationary bike can get you all warmed up. These moves, however, are not enough to get you to the next level. If you want to make the most of your time in the gym, go for a great warm up routine that powers your muscles. The Spider-Man stretch is a dynamic stretch, suitable for warm ups. It improves hip mobility by loosening up your groin muscles. It engages you in a push up position which is very similar to a plank. Plus, the fact that your hands are on the ground while your legs are moving makes it seem like you’re climbing out of the saddle. Thrusting your leg to the side of your arms promotes your core to remain stable while activating your butt muscles (the powerhouse of the leg) and stretching your hip flexors (front part of your hip). These muscles are normally tight and weak in cycling as you assume a crunched-compact position. Not only that, the spider man stretch also stimulates brain activity by engaging more muscles, allowing you to run faster, jump higher, and become stronger.

01 Start in a quadruped position.

02 Then, bring your legs back and assume a push-up position.

03 Explosively drive your left leg and place it at the outer side of your left hand. Your goal is to bring your left knee towards your left armpit.

04 While performing step 3, squeeze your right butt cheek (the gluteal muscles) and push your hips forward. Feel the stretch from your other leg.

05 Slowly bring your leg back.

06 Do it on the other leg.

Repeat the sequence until you have done at least 5 repetitions per leg.

LEVEL 1

BE BETTER THAN LAST SEASON

Starting your training during the off-season will help you become better than your last-season self. Vern Gambetta, a well-known strength and conditioning expert and owner of Gambetta Training Systems, prescribes a special training program that focuses on power and endurance. By doing low and high step-ups, the muscles you need for cycling are strengthened. Lateral step-ups strengthen the insides and outsides of your legs; those help keep you stable as you move forward. Focus on 10 to 15 repetitions per leg for 3 sets.

DO IT PROGRESSIVELY. For the first two weeks, do low step-ups twice a week. For weeks three and four, do low step-ups for one day and then a high step-up for another. For weeks five and six, work on doing two days of high step-ups a week. During the in-season, try doing at least one day of step-ups a week for maintenance purposes.

FOCUS ON PROPER FORM. Keep your abdominals tight and back straight, while looking forward. Avoid curling your body forward or leaning back too much. Get into the rhythm by trying to do one step per second.

DON’T FORGET A STRONG CORE. Many endurance athletes have legs of steel but cores of Jell-O. Check out articles and videos that focus on strengthening the core. Having a strong core enables you to go longer without cracking, push a heavier gear, or tackle a steeper climb.

Gambetta adds that majority of endurance athletes focus on getting strong during the off-season then forget about it during the season. “You can start off strong and even stronger if you thread power training throughout your season,” he says.

It has been 22 years since Frank Chong discovered a small lump on his left wrist. At age 12, Frank was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a type of cancer that’s commonly found attached to muscle tissue, wrapped around the intestines, or virtually any anatomic location. “When we went to the family doctor, he thought it was gangrene at first. He called the next day saying that he had second thoughts. An x-ray was taken, and there was indeed something wrong with the lump,” recalls Frank. “After a five-hour surgery, the lump was taken and sent to Singapore for a biopsy. As I sat down to take my first paper for the Primary School Evaluation Test, I was taken out from school and sent to Singapore for treatment.” Frank had to go through three years of treatment after that. “At the time, I roughly knew what was happening to me. This cancer usually targets 5- to 6-year-olds and appears on the neck,” says Frank. “Being a 12-year-old, I didn’t think too much about it. I just had to fight it. When treatment started, it was quite painful and I asked myself, ‘Why me?’” Frank looks lean and frail, and oftentimes people jump to conclusions, judging him by how he looks. “Back in school, only my classmates were supportive and they understood what I was going through. My teachers explained it to them,” Frank says. “The others would poke fun of me. I wore a hat, was plump due to only having an appetite for pizzas during treatment, and there were weird tapes for radiotherapy on my arms. But I understood there will always P

be people to back me up. I didn’t want to think too much about the words that could hurt me. I knew that I will grow up and hopefully, prove them wrong.” It was in 2007 when Frank started running, and these days, he hits anywhere between 60 to 90 kilometers every week. Terry Fox, a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist, who went on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research with one leg amputated, inspired Frank to run. “I try to think positively all the time. I have come this far. I have fought and won over it. I have survived and I am able to tell the story. Life is not complete yet. That is why I run. Running keeps me away from all these negative thoughts,” says Frank. Since 2012, Frank has been going to South Africa on the first week of June to participate in Comrades Marathon, the world’s oldest road ultramarathon. He runs to raise funds for cancer research together with Cancer Research Initiatives Foundation (CARIF), which is based in Subang Jaya Medical Centre, under an umbrella campaign called Be Frank. “I pay for all my expenses to South Africa,” he says. “Whenever people come up to me with sponsorships, I tell them to donate it to CARIF instead.” He also serves as a Community Champion for CARIF, sharing his story with other cancer patients. Frank says, “I just want to be who I am. If I did not have cancer, I might not be the person I am today. You just have to embrace it. It is not the end of the world.” SBR

INTERVIEW BY KARUNA ANG

“I DIDN’T WANT TO THINK TOO MUCH ABOUT THE WORDS THAT COULD HURT ME. I KNEW THAT I WILL GROW UP AND HOPEFULLY, PROVE THEM WRONG.”


The desire of | Vincent Chong and|

Affendy Iskandar| to lose weight and|

lead healthier lifestyles| brought them to a sport|

which challenged their| very beings!|

Athletes are known to be fit, lean, and muscular. Here, Vincent Chong and Affendy Iskandar talk about shedding the extra bulk by getting addicted to

triathlon. Vincent is an electronics and electrical engineer by training and a software engineer by accident. He has always loved cycling and got addicted to it not too long ago. Meanwhile, Affendy is into developing enterprise level Web-based systems and mobile applications. During his spare time, he would either be

training or playing the guitar.

training for different sports. Triathlon piqued my interest. I was amazed by these people who can compete in multiple disciplines of sports continuously; that definitely takes sheer dedication and strength to achieve.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR YOU WHEN YOU WERE STARTING OUT? V C : I started cycling when I was young but I never really swam nor run. It took me a lot of time and persistence to learn. I watched a lot of swimming videos to learn the posture and technique. Hitting the pool and swimming a lot helped. I increased the distance day by day, week by week. In terms

WHAT WAS YOUR TURNING POINT? V I N C E N T C H O N G ( V C ) : Two years ago, I was seriously overweight and unfit. Climbing up a flight of stairs will have me panting. I knew I needed to do something to improve my health. My friend Desmond Goh asked me to join an Olympic Distance triathlon event. I said yes and registered for the event even though I don’t really swim and run at all. Since then, I have been addicted to triathlon!A F F E N D Y I S K A N D A R ( A I ) : I was pretty much overweight when my wife delivered our first baby. I remember vividly a moment where I was looking at a photo of me posing with our little tiny baby girl and I didn’t really like how I looked like. I wasn’t very enthusiastic on how I had become physically. I got connected with a university buddy who is a regular runner. I told him how inspired I was to get in shape, if not as lean and toned as he was. He then convinced me to join him on evening runs, right after work, for a start. I went along and never looked back.

WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVATION BEHIND GETTING INTO TRIATHLON? V C : Other than living a healthier lifestyle, it is the idea of how far I can go that drives me crazy. I always crave for a longer distance or faster time. I think fun is the most important factor for me. When I started running, I didn’t really enjoy it. The joy came when I was finally able to run 10km non-stop, and that made me want to run further and longer! Same goes for swimming, at first it was really hard, but when I managed to swim in a better form, or when I managed to swim a few seconds faster, I felt very happy and wanted to do more!A I : My ultimate goal was to lose weight and look presentable. I started with simple short running and things became interesting. I learned that it’s not just about losing weight. I also learned that one needs to progress in order to get motivated and keep going. Soon, short evening runs weren’t enough. Along the way, I met numerous people

of nutrition, I cut down the quantity! I was 95kg then, I lost 15kg in a couple of months. It was very tough for me to control my eating habit. It takes an awful lot of determination! Family and friends are supportive. Now, taking part in a triathlon event is like a family trip and gathering among friends.A I : When I first started out, I had trouble with nutrition. It was quite difficult for me to change the habit from plenty of unhealthy starchy carbs and fatty foods into something more lean and beneficial for sports. But with proper transition and constantly following the plan, I eventually managed to get it done. Once the proper eating habits started to kick in, it has the tendency to

physiotherapy, lasted for another six months. I was down with lungs punctured, broken right shoulder blade, shattered bones on left wrist, and fractured bone on the face. I’m really thankful to have great friends and family to show support and lend helping hands when I needed them most. During my entire recovery time, I had to solely depend on my wife to take care of our two small kids and myself. Despite the accident, she never asked me to give up any sports activities.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST POSITIVE IMPACT THE SPORT HAS GIVEN YOU? V C : I have a healthier lifestyle. As a wise man once said, triathlon is not a sport, but a lifestyle.A I : Triathlon is not an easy feat but it can be very rewarding. It teaches a lot about being consistent and staying on track to achieve a specific goal. Discipline is the bridge between targeted goals and final accomplishments. The same rule applies to life as well. As long as we work hard on it, anything can be achieved. I also learned that most things cannot be done overnight, especially if I wanted to change myself from fat to fit. Make things grow gracefully and reap the rewards at the end. It felt so much better this way.

WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO JOIN TRIATHLONS?V C : Don’t do it because of the fame. Do it for the fun of it.A I : Anyone can begin doing triathlons at any level of fitness. Find a suitable training plan that you are comfortable with and follow it as much as possible in order to increase the fitness level to a desired goal. I would also suggest joining groups in training; being sociable with other people within the same context can keep you motivated.

WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS, IN TERMS OF TRIATHLON? V C : I just hope I can continue to enjoy and do it for a long, long time.A I : I want to do at least one Ironman distance triathlon every year and be consistent at it. It’s something to look forward to every year. That also means it gives me the discipline to have proper eating habits and ensuring that I stick to the exercise regimen in order to stay fit for the event.

WHAT UPCOMING RACES ARE YOU JOINING? V C : Port Dickson International Triathlon 2014 for sure! Maybe IRONMAN Langkawi 2014, maybe Challenge Roth 2015, maybe both!A I : My next race would be the Port Dickson International Triathlon 2014. I’m looking forward to the SunSmart IRONMAN Western Australia which will be held this December. SBR

stay. At home, we also had to change how we prepare our daily food. As for training, it was quite tough, especially swimming due to the fact that I never really swam before. I put more effort in correcting my swimming techniques and sought the help of experienced swimmers and talented triathletes. I also joined a running group that holds weekly excruciating intervals every Thursday and long runs every Sunday. In between, I committed myself to long hours of cycling on Saturday mornings.

WHAT IS YOUR MOST MEMORABLE TRIATHLON EVENT?V C : Port Dickson International Triathlon 2012—it was my first triathlon race and I think I broke the record. It was an Olympic Distance triathlon, and it took me five hours: 1.5 hours on the swim, 2 hours on the bike, and 1.5 hours for the run! I was the last one to cross the finish line!A I : It has to be the recent IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya. My entire family came over to cheer us on. Every time I made it back to the loop, I could see my two kids shouting encouraging words to keep me moving forward. It felt really good and helped me to stay focused.

WHAT WAS THE GREATEST CHALLENGE THAT YOU HAVE ENCOUNTERED THUS FAR? HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH IT? V C : Challenge Taiwan 2014, especially on the 3.8km swim leg with the cut off time of 2 hours and 20 minutes. Swimming has always been my weakest discipline. How did I deal with it? I swam a lot! I was swimming at least five days a week! A I : Back in 2012, I got involved in a bike accident. A car stopped right in my path and I hit it at relatively high speed without having the chance to slow down. The impact was so strong; I was put out immediately after the crash and didn’t remember a single thing after the event. The doctors had to perform two major surgeries. The recovery period, with constant visits to the

THE CANCER RESEARCH INITIATIVES FOUNDATION The Cancer Research Initiatives Foundation (CARIF) aims to address the challenges of low cancer literacy and the lack of awareness of early cancer symptoms. Last 1 June, a group of runners joined the Frankathon Ground Event at Bangsar Village 1 to support Frank Chong, a CARIF Community Champion. He participated in the Comrades Marathon to raise funds for cancer research. Its other initiatives include the Be Frank: Hairdressers Programme, Youth Programme, Charity Badminton Tournament, and Yogathon.

MISSION FOR MISSING CHILDREN“We have been active in marathon and triathlon for a while. We joined for fun, but eventually we wanted to carry a message,” says Rozaimi Mohd Said, Vice-Chairman of Mission for Missing Children. “Missing children is a topic that is discussed when it happens, then comes the silence. It becomes the talk of the town when another incident happens. We wanted to create a platform where this issue will be discussed constantly.” “We have a message embedded on our bibs,” adds Said. “This is not only our issue. It is Malaysia’s issue.” Don’t leave your children alone is the message that the group wants to send to the public. The group shares tips for children safety and provides pamphlets for distribution. “Community involvement is crucial in spreading awareness,” he says.

MALAYSIAN AIDS FOUNDATIONSocial activists Ralph Dixon and Jeff Lau crossed 250 km in seven days through the Sahara Desert to raise funds and increase awareness about HIV/AIDS in Malaysia last 6 April 2014. The two runners competed in the ‘toughest foot race on earth’ in the name of two charitable initiatives: Malaysian AIDS Foundation

The duo managed to raise RM101,000 as of 1 May 2014. “The funding for the AIDS response in this country has been severely cut back, and at the same time, people living with HIV continue to be pushed to the margins of society due to stigma and discrimination, a situation which negatively affects their access to crucial health care services. Naturally, I have picked up my gear again and continued running,” says Dixon, an avid marathon runner and a Trustee of MAF.

TRI-ING TO HELP CEREBRAL PALSYInspired by their friend Jason Flanagan, whose son Zane suffers from cerebral palsy (CP), Jason Winter and Paul McCalman set up Tri-ing to Help Cerebral Palsy. It is tough on Jason’s family as it is a daily battle to support the problem at all levels,” explains McCalman. The duo decided to raise money to help those who suffer from CP and create a greater awareness for the cause by competing in triathlons. With the support of the group, family, and friends, Zane has undertaken a new form of therapy over the past few months. Only a few weeks ago, at the age of six, he was able to take his first steps. The group is looking at bringing in treatment from the US to help Zane and other patients. “We would like to continue on with our initiative in Malaysia for as long as possible and hope that more and more people get involved, and that other triathletes around the world might adopt the same initiative in their country of residence,” adds McCalman. The group will participate in the Port Dickson Duathlon on 2 November and the Ballarat 70.3 Ironman in Australia on 16 November. SBR

RUDY PROJECT SPONSORS MALAYSIA’S TRIATHLON ICONSPursuing its tradition of sponsoring deserving athletes who embody unrivalled passion and excellence in the athletic arena and who project the same unparalleled brilliance it possesses, Rudy Project is proud to announce Mohd Amran Abd Ghani and Muhammad Hafiz Wong (Wong Ah Thiam), as its latest addition to its elite roster of sponsored sports winners and titleholders. Take a look at these champions’ outstanding profiles and greatest milestones:

MOHD AMRAN ABD GHANIGhani was awarded as the Best Malaysian (Male) during the IRONMAN 70.3 Putrajaya last 21 May 2014. A local fire fighter, he is from the Kota Anggerik, Bukit Jultong fire and rescue department. He did not just finish the race as Best Malaysian (Male), he also came 4th in the 30-34 age group of 237 other athletes and 15th overall with an outstanding time of 4:46:15. He was then awarded a free entry to IRONMAN Langkawi to be held o 27 September.

VOLKSWAGEN MARATHON SERIES 2014 PRESS CONFERENCEContinuing its success from last year, the 2014 edition of the Volkswagen Marathon Series consists of two breathtaking boutique runs that will take participants through the beauty of nature. Organized by The Marathon Shop, the first run was the Island Ocean Marathon, which took place in Langkawi last 10 August 2014. The second run, River Jungle Marathon, will be held in Hulu Langat, Selangor on 7 September 2014. “Volkswagen Malaysia has been the title sponsor for the Marathon Series since its inception in 2011 and this is a partnership that I am personally happy about,” said Armin Keller, Managing Director for Volkswagen Group Malaysia. “A marathon that drives an appreciation of nature is very much in line with our own Think Blue philosophy which furthers the cause of environmental awareness and sustainability.” “The Marathon Series was actually a conception between a close friend and I in 2008. That was when we did our first marathon. We trained for eight months and he missed the cut off time by two minutes. He was thoroughly disappointed that he couldn’t get his finisher’s tee and medal,” explained James Wong, founder of The Marathon Shop. “So it was then when we actually thought, ‘Why should all races be about how fast, far, or long you can run?’ That’s why we created a series without a cut off time. We wanted everyone that participated in a full marathon to be a winner. The Marathon Series will never have a cut off time or first prize, because everyone will be recognized as a winner,” he added.
